Maxwell Trio

USC's offensive playmaking core was featured on the initial Maxwell Award Watch List for the 2015 season. QB Cody Kessler, WR Nelson Agholor and RB Buck Allen are being eyed as potential offensive player of the year candidates.

The junior trio account for most of the Trojans' returning offense. Kessler passed for 2,967 yards and 20 TDs last season, while Agholor was the team's leading receiver (918 yards and 6 TDs) and Allen led USC in rushing (774 yards and 14 TDs).
